0 since xenon is a noble gas
Argon and Xenon have the same number of valence electrons, both are noble gases (group 18 that have 8 electrons).
Noble gases do not like giving up electrons. There are 2 electrons in the outer shell of helium and 8 electrons in the outer shell of the other noble gases (group 18 of the periodic table), representing filled shells.
Look what column it is in within the Periodic Table. The first column has 1 valance electron. The second column has 2 valence electrons. The entire section of shorter columns (all metals) also have two valence electrons. The tall column after that (with Boron ) has three valence electrons. The tall column after that (with carbon) has four valence electrons. This pattern continues until you reach the final column, the noble gasses (eg. Neon, argon, xenon); these all have 8 valence electrons.
Xenon has larger size and hence the valence electrons do not have much attraction with the nucleus. So these electrons are available for bonding with other elements.
Xenon is a noble gas belonging to group 18. It has eight valence electrons.

No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).
No. there are no unpaired electrons in xenon. In neutral form, xenon will have 8 valence electrons.
All noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) have completely filled valence shell / valence energy level / valence orbitals.
Elements in group 8 all have 8 valence electrons, this is why these elements are in group 8, they are called noble gases, some examples are Argon, Xenon,
There are no valence electrons.
The number of Valence Electrons of Xenon is 8 because it is in the eighth group on the periodic table
8 electrons
The outer shell of xenon is full with 8 electrons.
